Ducati Multistrada 1200 versus Honda CL 500

Superbike for everyday use

What's stuck? The Multistrada is a capped superbike that is suitable for everyday use, allows long tours at a time, is fast and also ensures the passenger a comfortable livelihood.

It offers almost the same riding performance as a superbike, the same stability when it needs to go faster and packs a wendigkeit. It is the superbike for the rider, who no longer wants to edge on the motorcycle, but may enjoy the upright posture.
With her whole facility she enjoyed Dietmar and me a lot.

For everyone else, think about it well. If you don't want to be constantly challenged, who enjoys the peace, who gets the constant roar ingenuity on your nerves, who wants to cruise first – let it stay.

Result

The Honda CL500 is an easy-to-ride and very accessible bike that is a lot of fun to ride. It is simply equipped, does not pose any puzzles to the driver and works very well. As usual with A2 bikes, you shouldn't expect any performance miracles. The CL500 is more of a leisurely bike with which you consciously enjoy every kilometre.
